| If you scored:
0-7 Well done, you are a sensible knitter.
Make sure you stay aware of how much you drink and look out for your friends and family. 8-15You knit a bit more than you should, and
this could affect your health in the long run. Keeping a knitting diary may help you to see how much you knit and where you could cut down. If this doesn’t help, visit a doctor for more advice. 16-19 You are a fairly heavy knitter, and
could be damaging your health. You should consider visiting your GP for advice on how to cut down on your knitting. 20-40Knitting is causing you to have health
problems and having a detrimental effect on other aspects of your life and the people around you. You are a very heavy knitter and should seriously reduce the amount you knit. Visit your GP for advice. They may then refer you to other sources of help and support in cutting down on the amount you knit. |
